For those still reading/lurking/interested, the EKB has about 7 out of 20 threads on page 1 that appear to have little, if anything to do about Duke sports. The OTB is discussing such things as tonsillectomy, ear tubes, HVAC and scholarships. But, there are no polls or birthday wishes and the PWing appears to be at a minimum. :roll:

Makes sense as all of the PWs ended up over here.

I do have just over 50 posts to go for what I suspect will be my final milestone on DBR. But who's counting :D :)) :oops:?

Sorry, just saw this post now.

I was permanently banned a couple of months ago but no real reason was ever given. It wasn't for anything I had said or any particular post I had made. In fact, I hadn't had so much as an infraction point against me in months. Basically, I pissed off one of the mods one time too many and, when he got his chance, he banned me and justified it by saying I was too critical of the powers that be over there and, more or less, that I wasn't sufficiently grateful for being allowed to post there (obviously, I'm summarizing here).

If you look at any of my old posts on TOWEL I am officially listed as being 'on holiday'. I was pissed at the time, especially because I think the mod who did it is a complete dick and is one of the biggest problems amongst the mods there, but now I couldn't care less. The people I enjoy interacting with are now here on this board and I like the atmosphere here far better than the atmosphere that had developed at TOWEL. After James' regime (I was posting regularly on McGrupp's BTD board when James left TOWEL), and the unbelievable bullshit he pulled with me one day (few people know the story but he was such a dick that I'm not sure anyone would really find it all that shocking), I didn't think things could get worse at TOWEL (I thought they would improve) but they did.

Just to be clear... it's the EKF (Forum). It's also known as the MAIN BOARD. Had to go there and receive a private message. Must go shower.

If I bring back from Libertalia some little pirate thingee (and give it to wilson), may I use DB Arrrrrrr! :ar! ? Ma-tee??

Yeah, I realized not long after I posted that that I had dyslexified (What? Of course that's a word.) the number.
Gonna be a LONG time before I post another 180-odd times to get to the real number in question over there.

Absolutely. Bringing me presents from abroad will get you far in life.

I know the feeling.

Only if you bring one for yourself and put up an avatar of you in a pirate costume. Them's the rules.

Wilson: do we get out the grammar police on BD? I mean, she's a writer, and all that.

I vote that we give her a tiny slap on the wrists.

NOTE: Too much time spent grading papers. I get upset with the its/it's issue. My apologies. :-B
You do need some more sleep or a trip to a large island, far, far away :D . EKF vs EKB, OTB vs OTF. I checked and they are listed as bulletin boards and also forums. Sheesh.

By the way, have we ever decided what to call DBR?

To avoid the locking of this thread, see if we can stick on topic. The mods and I agree that much of this might be better off merged with the LTE if it's not too much of a pain. If it drifts again, we gotta lock it. Made us get out of our lazy-boys. Grrrrr.

I have one, but don't make me get out of it. B-)

Does anyone feel that the original topic has run its course? As CB&B said, we don't want to bash other sites...

I thought I posted a response, was it deleted or did my brain make up this whole scenario?
